Looking for gold, finding malaria. Malaria Program, Ministry of Health, Suriname (with PAHO) - 2012

SUMMARY:

This report presents the results of a Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey, which was conducted among people living and working in gold mining areas in Suriname. This study is a follow-up of the 2009-2010 KAP survey and serves, in combination with other project data, to assess the impacts of an intense malaria control campaign in Suriname’s small-scale gold mining areas. The main question was: How and how much have malaria-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices among gold miners and other inhabitants of mining areas changed as a result of the interventions of the Suriname Ministry of Health/Global Fund malaria program?

Field work took place in June 2012 in three larger mining area's; Benzdorp/Lawa River area, Sarakreek area and the Maripaston area. A cross-sectional survey with open-ended and closed-ended questions was conducted with 268 mining teams or other economic units.
